Because I was afraid the horse pill would get stuck. I checked my blood sugar and it was 325. So I broke the horse pill into quarters (tho it says not to crush break or dissolve). I took a quarter of it and it feels like it's just sitying there. I didn't take the other three. It doesn't hurt but I'm very aware it's there. Don't know what to do. Can't not take the meds anymore if my blood sugar is going to be high on a phase 3 diet

I believe they make liquid Metformin if that's what you're on. Ask your prescribing doctor about giving you a liquid form.

I was on liquid metformin and I switched to pills due to the taste of the liquid. They first gave me those huge horse pills and I refused to take them for fear of getting stuck. Call your doctor and see if you can get the liquid metformin.

I was able to quit diabetic meds almost immediately with the diet change and loss of weight, my diabetes was gone. high blood pressure and cholesterol meds are also gone.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
